So, I've officially been back to work for two full weeks now, and the transition (minus a horrible computer virus that wiped out our office network for 5 days) has been pretty smooth. In the interest of keeping it real, however, I thought I would share that three times a day, I sit in my office with the door closed feeling panicky about whether I locked said door. Because having a colleague walk in on you with your boobs hanging out (especially on those days you wear a dress that has to be hiked up around your neck while you pump) is not exactly the most professional thing to do - YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

Forgive me remaining blog readers, for I have sinned. It's been awhile since my last post, and I apologize. Life moves quicker with each passing day (it seems), and I'm trying to soak it all up. We survived the Norovirus, the end of my maternity leave, and this seemingly NEVER-ENDING winter (can we get some warm weather, puuuhhhhlllleeeease?!)

Anyway, I've really been focusing on squeezing the juice out of every moment of every day.... and, without further ado, here are some of our favorite things as of late....

Favorite modes of transportation as of late - it's a toss-up between the ergo and the double stroller. Love the ease and convenience of both! Images from here.

So there you have it - our most recent favorites! Hope you have all been having a wonderful April! We really can't complain (except about this unseasonably cold weather!) All the best to you and yours -- what favorite things are you enjoying these days???

Me: Jack, how did this truck get to the bottom of the stairs? Did you throw it?
Jack: It was a accident on purpose.

while organizing clothes that he's grown out of...
Me: How did you get to be such a big boy?
Jack: (motioning with his hands) I was a tiny baby! I grow and I grow and I grow. I am a big boy, and I am cute!

Me: I have to feed Owen first.
Jack: Owen's daddy can do it.

Me: What do you want to do today? Do you want to go to the park?
Jack: No, he wants to play trucks ALL DAY LONG.

clothes are strewn all over my room during my spring cleaning campaign...
Jack: Who made this mess?! It was MOMMY. I am going to be very mad at you!

in the throes of spring cleaning...
Me: Holy moly! Mommy needs some chocolate!
Jack (runs to the top of the stairs and yells down to Daddy): DADDY! DADDY! WE MEAN CHOCOLATE! EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! WE MEAN SOME CHOCOLATE!Sometimes when he's excited he uses "mean" instead of "need." Adorable!while hiding behind a box...
Jack: I'm hiding so I can peek you. You can't even see me, Mom!annnddd... my favorite sentence of all time. I MEAN to record this because I LOVE the way he says it.
Jack: We MEAN to get more ba-neeeee-nas puz we fresh out!He says "puz" when he means "because," and it's the cutest thing ever.
